Can I take Aspirin and Evolocumab together?

Why this happens

Aspirin works by preventing blood cells (platelets) from sticking together to form clots. Evolocumab is a monoclonal antibody that helps the liver remove LDL ('bad') cholesterol from the blood. Because they work through entirely different pathways in the body and are processed by different organs, they do not interfere with each other's effectiveness or safety.

What you should do

You can continue taking both medications as prescribed by your doctor. No special precautions or dose adjustments are usually necessary when using these two drugs together. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking.
